Break action accuaracy

Umm with 64 gr of H4198 from my 6 lb rifle will make you think it's an elephant gun on your shoulder. I went up to 55 gr of it n thought my shoulder was knocked off.

You never said what your gun was or has muzzlebreak

Forgive me and this laptop. I had it in the subject body. This excuse for a computer deletes everything when i use the shift bar. It's a NEF converted 45-70 uses a Savage BP with 209 bushing set-up

Break action accuracy, mine sucks ! I have learned to accept it. At 25 yards off the table & sand bag it will do ragged one hole groups. By the time it gets to a 100 yards it's palm size. I'm going to try one last time to see if i can get it to shoot. If not i know to keep all my shots 100 or less.

Land riders were XTP, Fury 250, Barnes XPT's. Sabots .400 XTP, SW,SST,Barnes Exp. Powders Blue dot, 5744,4759,VV110,RL7, H4198

If I had tried all that and it still didn't work. It may be time to get something else.

It's good to 100 yards, i will keep my shots close. I don't have the funds to buy another smokeless rifle.

My Handi rifle 45/70 is/was ( I sold it ) to help pay for a smokeless 45 but I shot piles of deer with it 4 inch group @200 yds less than 1/2 that @100 yds shooting a PB/GC 350 gr NOE 460-FN sized to 459 in pure lead over 25.5 gr 2400 powder /covered with a 1/2 gr Dacron using a 4x Leupold . Over 8-9 yrs the only CF I carried to fill my freezers !/Ed

It has no muzzle break, it was converted back in 2015. Man that did it didn't do MB's

i dont have any experience with break open rifles like the NEF.
however i had several contender pistols and they shot the best when i would resize the brass so i had to snap the action closed to get the action lock to fully engage. this would headspace the brass tight on the shoulder and vastly improve the accuracy. this worked both with a rimmed cartridge (357 herrett) and a rimless one too (7 TCU.)
